Hi
I want to create a stopwatch using a PIC16F877A. To start and stop the stopwatch a simple switch can be used. Since, I'm more familiar with C++ language and I was told I can use it to program such, I plan to use that to program my microcontroller.
I did some initial reading and found out that Timer1 can be used for this. I'm not asking for codes, however I was just wondering if I was going in the right direction and if you could give me your opinions, advices, tips and such with my programming.
Looking forward to your replies.
THANKS!
